WOW!
And you thought Brian Giles was a great outfielder. Check out this
minor league ball girl's catch.
WAIT! STOP! HOLD THE PRESSES!!!!!!!
THIS IS FAKE! Grrrrrr. Been duped again. Here's the explanation from snopes.com Is it real game footage? No, it's a commercial for Gatorade sports drink. (Note the bottle of Gatorade on the ground at the ball girl's feet at the end of the clip.) The clip, produced by Element 79, combined footage taken during and after a game between the two minor league teams with some digital trickery to produce the illusion of a spectacular catch made by a hustling ball girl. ShootOnline talked to director Baker Smith, who explained how the effect was created:
"The big shot, the one that follows the ball out [from the plate to left field], was completely choreographed for lack of a better word," Smith said, explaining that a motion control shot followed what would have been the trajectory of the ball, and the artisans at New York's Framestore CFC later inserted a ball in post.
As for how the ball girl (played by stuntwoman Phoenix Brown) made the spectacular catch that is the highlight of the video, she got a little help from rigs and Framestore CFC.
Smith and his crew shot the big catch right after the game they were shooting concluded, attaching the ball girl to wires and having two stunt men off to the side literally yanking her up the wall.
Now, here's the video in question.
No Sense of Humor in Charleston for Bubble Gum - But There is in San Luis Obispo
The gum poles have been an unsightly Charleston, South Carolina, landmark for years and now authorities want to do something about them. It seems three utility poles at the entrance to the South Carolina city's popular outdoor market are routinely plastered with used chewing gum in a rainbow of colors. Workers clean away the gum only to see more return. City traffic and transportation director Hernan Pena has asked police to keep a close watch on the poles and there's talk of installing surveillance cameras. Police said anyone caught plastering gum faces a maximum fine of $500 and 30 days in jail.
Aw, boo hoo on the authorities in South Carolina. They should embrace their "inner bubble gum" like they do in San Luis Obispo. Here's a picture of Bubble Gum Alley just off Higuera Street in San Luis. Man that's a lot of gum! Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull MISTAKES! Ouch! If you are going to see the new Indiana Jones movie and you're like us--you love catching mistakes in the film e.g. crew members in the shot or spoons changing locations on a table from one shot to another, then print this out and take it to the theatre with you. Most of these we found on moviemistakes.com. Here they are:
Continuity: When Mutt slams his fist on the table in the Diner the Ketchup and Mustard bottles fall over, the shot pans to Indiana's back and the bottles are standing up again, he tells Mutt to sit down, the camera pans back to Mutts back and the bottles are as they were after Mutt slammed the table and Indiana picks them both up.
Continuity: In the scene in the diner when Indy and Mutt first meet, look behind Indy outside. There is a group of leather clad bikers sitting talking on their motorcycles in one shot, then it cuts away, then back again and they have vanished and there are just people walking past the window. This happens at least three times during the scene.
Visible crew/equipment: When Indy is tied to the chair and Spolka comes in to talk to him, in some shots of Spolka, to the lower left there is a crew member with headphones that is crouching down. He can only be seen in that shot of Spolka, but disappears in some of those as well.
Factual error: LED lights were invented in 1962, yet they were used to count down the missile Indy and Ukranian baddie were sitting on, even though the film was set a full 5 years before.
Continuity: After Indiana and team fall off the disappearing stairs, they are walking around in the water. But when they step through the next door into the treasure room, all are completely dry.
Visible crew/equipment: When the female Russian is climbing down the cliff you are able to see for a brief second the cable from the harness holding her up right next to the rope on which she is climbing down.
Factual error: The movie supposedly is taking place in 1957, yet the motorcycle that Mutt rides is based on a 2000 or newer Harley Davidson softail, showing the modern day controls and Twin Cam motor, instead of the panhead motor that would have been the period correct engine of 1957.
Continuity: When Indy and Mutt meet in the diner, the spoon on the table changes its position between shots.
Continuity: During the chase with Mutt and Indy in the beginning, the bus goes from next to them in one shot to behind them in another.
Continuity: In the scene where Indiana Jones is locked in the chair in the Russian camp there is a reel to reel tape machine running to Indy's left. When you first see it the tape on the left is low, then when Irina Spalko walks in she goes over to it and flicks a switch - as the camera moves out the tape on the left hand reel is suddenly nearly equal to the one on the right.
Factual error: There is a shot of the exterior atomic test homes where we see child dummies playing on a slip-n-slide. That toy was not introduced by Wham-O until 1961.
Continuity: In the beginning of the film, when the Russians are talking to Indy, his shirt is tucked, then in another shot it's untucked, then it's tucked again. This continues for about 3-5 shots.
Plot hole: We are told in the film that the Conquistadors stole the skull. However, since Indiana has to use the skull to open the tomb that it came from, it would have been impossible for the Conquistadors to have opened the tomb to steal it in the first place.
Factual error: In the scene where they are flying to Peru from US, they fly over a "map" of a Central America region and the country of Belize is shown. That country was the British Honduras until 1973. It was then renamed to Belize.
Factual error: In the scene when Indy and Mutt are flying to Peru, a Pan American Aircraft is shown. It is an Antonov AN-2. Pan Am never flew this Russian aircraft! Also, the shot is backwards; the writing on the aircraft (airline name and registration) read backwards.
Continuity: Indy's head position and hairstyle keeps changing in the shots after the test jet comes to a stop.
Continuity: In the diner scene between "Indy" and "Mutt," Indy's shirt collar points are smooth under his jacket lapel in some close-up shots, but in others one of the collar points is curled up.
Continuity: In the beginning, when Indy's hat is thrown out of the trunk it faces 9 o'clock, but when Indy stretches to pick it up, half a second afterwards, it faces the 12 o'clock direction.
Continuity: Indy's mostly buried in the quick sands and he is handed a snake. Half a second later, when he has just managed to grab it he isn't buried as deeply.
Continuity: The drawing that Ox makes in front of Indy differs between shots: Watch the shape of the sun.
Factual error: The amphibious vehicle the Soviets have is a GAZ-46. When Karen Allen is driving it, the vehicle is automatic (two pedals), but the GAZ-46 was manual (clutch, gas, brake).
Factual error: On the scene where they are at the cemetery in Nazca, they show the Nazca lines right off the cemetery. These lines are so big that you need to be in a plane to actually see them. They are about 8 kms long each, and from the top of the hill in the movie they show at least three of them.
Continuity: In the malt shop, Mutt jumps up from the table and knocks over the mustard and ketchup bottles. When the camera turns to Indy, the bottles are standing up. Then, in the next shot, you see Indy stand them up as Mutt sits down.
Continuity: The Russians arrive at the Nevada base and salute the guards. The one on the far right is very close to the barrier, next to where the corner of the house is; half a second later he is several meters behind and walking towards the barrier again.
Continuity: Before Indy finds the crystal skull the mummy's head has a piece of cloth on its forehead. In a wide shot immediately afterwards this cloth disappears.
Visible crew/equipment: In the beginning of the film when Indy uses his whip to disarm one of the Russians, when he "uses" his whip to pull the gun away, a wire can be seen on the end of the barrel to pull it up.
Continuity: In the fight seen between the two jeeps, you can tell when Mutt's stunt man is in the shot because he has curly hair.
Factual error: Indy's son, Mutt, has a motorcycle with a front disc brake. You can see the master cylinder on the handlebars. Not available in 1957.
Factual error: During the fight in the rocket engine testing facility the countdown timer is of a type with electronic digital numbers. In 1957 the countdown timer would have been of a type of flipping numbers, which are mechanically changed as the timer counts down. See films like Fail Safe and Goldfinger for such clocks or timers.
Continuity: When Indy's in the tent facing the skull with his hands tied, his hands are either clenched fists or open depending on the shot.
Other: At the beginning of the movie, Indy is pulled out of a trunk. On a top down shot, we see his hat resting at an arm's length from his body (he's flat on his face). in the next shot, upon getting up, he has to walk 3 steps to reach it.
Continuity: When Indiana and Mutt are in the diner, notice the coffee cup Indy has on the table. In one shot, he has it in his hand. In another, his hand is not on it. This happens twice with the different camera angles.
Continuity: After the main characters have been thrown out of the "lost city" by the rapidly rising waters, they are completely soaked (quite natural, as they were submerged in the well). But after everything dies down, all of the characters' hair and clothes are bone dry.
Continuity: When Indy is held captive in the Soviet's tent, Mac enters and they have a conversation. Indy then turns his head to his left, looking straight at Mac. Just before Indy makes his threat about what he'll do to Mac when he gets loose, there is an angle change, and Indy is suddenly staring straight ahead, with no time to turn his head in between shots. He then turns his head back to look Mac in the face again.
Continuity: During the chase above the waterfall, the assault boat has its machine gun snapped off. When the assault boat goes over the waterfall the gun is visible again for a few seconds. The gun is gone when they get to the bottom.
Continuity: In a close-up, Indy removes the mask from one of the mummified corpses, and is holding it about a foot away from the corpse's face. Then we change to a shot from further away, and Indy is holding the mask three or four feet away from the corpse's face.
Continuity: At the end of the movie, when Mutt is standing in the aisle of the church holding a camera to take a picture of the wedding party, the door blows open, and Indy's hat blows down the aisle. Mutt bends over to pick it up, and the camera is suddenly gone from his hands.
Revealing: Right after Indy comes out of the refrigerator, after the nuke exploding, the scene changes to an airfield with two cars driving across the screen. These two cars are obviously CGI, as the first car turns, despite the wheels staying pointing straight.
Talking Goat! 'Nuf said.
Cats on Treadmill Even cats are working out these days. Train Your Goldfish So little Bubbles doesn't do anything to keep you amused but swim back and forth in his glass habitat? Not acceptable! Then teach your little finned friend to do some aquatic tricks by having him attend Fish School. Check it out. Incredible Sports Story Some might say playing sports is all about the winning. And yes, that's true to a certain degree. But this story about a marginal college softball player--a senior--playing in one of the final games of her college career is an amazing study in sportsmanship and respect. If you view only one video today make it this one.
Mullet Boy It is with pride that 3-year old Brady Arneson accepted his award as sporting
the Most Outstanding and Best Mullet. Yes, many have tried but few have actually gone the distance with their mullet. We are so proud. Watch out Billy Ray Cyrus!
KyXy Morning Show Doggie in Car Seat
Sonny's Catnip Car When discussing the new "pet" legislation with Marianne Kushi and Jason Austel
from NBC 7/39 it was determined that, yes, pets should be restrained when riding in cars and not sitting on their master's lap. It's for the pet's safety, the safety of the driver, AND our safety. What happens if Fluffy or Fido decides to take a swipe at the driver and he/she loses control of the car (like it happened in Modesto over the weekend), veers across the highway and hits MY car. Not a good thing. So maybe Sonny's idea for a Cat Car is not that far off. Fluffy could ride on the outside of the car and be quite content if you own a Catnip Car as depicted below. Yes think of how mellow Puss n' Boots would be traveling down the highway at 65 mph and nestling his cute little furry face over every inch of your car covered in catnip! The Incredible Morphing Actresses This is pretty cool.

Find out here. KyXy Morning Show "Lite" Show Oh sure, big deal. Some guy decorates his house with thousands of Christmas
lights and synchronizes them to a Trans Siberian Orchestra track. Well, the KyXy Morning Show can "one-up" that with this high-tech holiday light show that is darn-near underwhelmingly pathetic...but it uses the the same Trans Siberian Orchestra song "Wizards In Winter." Prepare to be amazed! (We're amazed it's actually on our web page.) We Want ABBA Believe it or not....that's what a recent survey of Brits discovered.
Of all pop bands, since the beginning of time, they want the Swedish
group ABBA making a comeback. Also rans in the competition were:
Spandau Ballet, Wham! and The Jacksons. And along those lines, here's a
music group that loves ABBA so much they play the ABBA hit Mamma Mia
on bottles. Check it out here.
Arnold Can't Flip Was our own Sonny West the only person in the Western World
to uncover this little tidbit...California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger cannot or does not know how to flip a coin? Come on! The Governator?
Arnold was giving the honor of the opening coin flip.
We've slowed it down so you can actually see that the coin never even turns
over once in mid-air. I guess some can flip the bird, some can flip a pancake
but not everyone can flip a coin. Bird Dances to Backstreet Boys Check out snowball the cockatoo dancing and grooving to the song "Everybody" by the

over and over again. Your brain makes you "think" they are increasing up the scale.

Feed Your Meter? Fahgedaboutit! Yeah, that's what Sonny & Susan said on the KyXy Morning Show on a minor holiday.
After all, that's the information they received from their news source.
Oh happy day! No need to feed your meter in downtown...free parking...woohoo!
Just one small thing, though. WRONG! Hey "news source"! Thanks for
making us look like dolts. If you can't believe a wire service, then who can you
believe? A question we will ask ourselves often whenever getting
the supposed inside scoop from our outside source. Our bad for not double checking.
So then the calls began. Irate KyXy Morning Show listeners who took our advice and
neglected their meters...and were surprised with their personal "touch" of
citationistic (not even a word) happiness--parking ticket to the layman. Ouch!
We felt your pain as we wallowed in the darkness of our own dj ineptitude.
What to do? Pay 'em for you! Out of our own pockets, nonetheless. Ouch, again!
But it WAS our fault. So we coughed up the bucks for everyone who called and
delivered the dough Tuesday morning. Our monetary mea culpa if you will. And here
is one of the documented deliveries to JMA Architecture Studios on 4th Avenue. Kangaroo Videos... It's amazing that in the first video the roo, hopping through traffic
on a race course, does not get hit...thankfully.
And in the second video watch as the little "joey"

he stumbled--literally--across one of the most incredible
inventions. So amazing that Leonardo da Vinci

bloodshot eyes. Leave the extension chord at home, now
you can enjoy the icee goodness of your favorite margarita

They involve much thought and consideration. The importance of the initial decision should always be examined over the long run. Memories made and cherished are sure to be tempered along the way. Consider these following two life choices:
SHOULD I GET A DOG?
OR HAVE KIDS?
"I LIKE TURTLES!" Ya' gotta love this "zombie" kid who just got his face painted at a street faire when some TV reporter attacks him and fires a question at him. Seems he just came from a turtle exhibit and he was still pretty-darn stoked about the shelled creatures. He is getting his 15 minutes of fame from this little taped piece.
McGurk Effect This is pretty cool. It's a scientific principle that is called the McGurk Effect. Here's how you should approach this to experience it fully. 1) Click on this link www.media.uio.no/personer/arntm/McGurk_english.html 2) WATCH and LISTEN to the video a couple of times 3) Then, just LISTEN to the video with your eyes closed Do you hear the difference?
If you are a Sex in the City fan, then you will howl at this parody rip-off of the hit HBO comedy. Check out Bea Arthur as Carrie, Sally Struthers as Samantha, Katherine Helmond as Miranda, Charlotte Rae as Charlotte and ta dah.....Abe Vigoda as Big.
